Dumfries flood protection work to begin in 2026 at Whitesands

The council said that “invasive ground investigation” had been completed last summer although some equipment remains in place for ongoing data collection.

That will allow assessment of the variability of groundwater levels as well as the influence of rainfall and river levels.

A technical review of the information gathered is to be carried out before taking the scheme forward.

“The target timeline being worked to for the project is the Scottish government deadline for construction contract award by the 31 March 2026, with construction targeted to start summer 2026,” said a council spokesman.

“This is subject to completion of the detailed design stage of the project enabling a full business case to be produced, with market-tested costs and delivery timescales for consideration by members towards the end of the year.”
